1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class destroyed the cache,
9 causing the class to go out of scope unexpectedly. This could easily
10 happen at a distance by applying a metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave
17 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
18 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
19 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
23 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
30 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method, in
31 addition to execute, to be able to call a code attribute as a method.
36 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
37 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
38 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions Moose::before,
39 Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs, with the same
40 behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp result in an error.
43 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
47 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
51 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
52 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
54 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
55 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
56 - Moose::Util::does_role
57 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
58 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
59 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
61 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
65 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
66 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
67 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
70 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
74 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 with Visual
75 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
78 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
82 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
83 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
86 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
90 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
92 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
95 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
96 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
97 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
99 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
100 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
101 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
104 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
105 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
107 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
108 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
109 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
111 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
113 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
114 substr et al, again. (sorear)
116 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
118 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
121 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
122 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
124 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
125 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
127 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
128 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
129 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
130 dependencies installed.
132 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
133 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
136 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
138 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
142 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
144 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
145 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
146 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
148 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
149 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
150 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
152 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
153 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
156 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
157 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
158 others. (nothingmuch)
160 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
161 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
162 remove_accessors. (doy)
164 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
165 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
166 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
168 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
169 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
171 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
172 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
173 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
174 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
177 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
178 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
180 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
181 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
183 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
185 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
186 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
189 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
190 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
191 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
192 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
193 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
195 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
196 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
197 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
198 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
199 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
200 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
201 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
204 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
205 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
206 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
207 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
208 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
210 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
211 which were not receiving the value of
212 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
213 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
214 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
215 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
219 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
220 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
221 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
222 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
223 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
226 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
227 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
228 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
229 - added tests for this (Stevan)
232 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
233 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
234 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
237 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
238 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
239 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
241 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
242 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
243 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
246 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
247 class if you pass it options for
248 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
249 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
250 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
251 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
252 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
253 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
254 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
255 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
256 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
258 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
259 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
260 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
261 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
262 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
265 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
266 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
267 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
268 existing delegation API. (hdp)
270 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
271 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
272 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
273 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
274 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
275 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
278 * Moose::Error::Croak
279 * Moose::Error::Confess
280 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
281 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
284 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
287 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
288 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
289 installing a broken sub. (doy)
292 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
295 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
296 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
297 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
299 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
300 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
301 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
302 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
303 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
305 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
306 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
309 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
311 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
312 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
315 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
316 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
318 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
319 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
320 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
321 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
323 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
324 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
325 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
326 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
327 using it for new code!
329 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
330 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
331 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
332 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
334 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
335 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
336 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
337 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
338 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
339 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
340 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
341 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
344 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
347 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
348 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
351 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
352 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
354 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
355 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
356 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
359 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
360 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
361 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
364 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
365 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
367 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
368 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
369 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
372 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
373 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
374 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
375 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
376 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
377 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
379 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
381 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
384 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
385 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
386 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
388 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
389 associated_methods. (hdp)
390 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
391 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
392 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
393 misspelled) arguments
395 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
396 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
397 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
398 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
400 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
401 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
402 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
404 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
407 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
408 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
409 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
412 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
413 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
415 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
417 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
418 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
420 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
421 * Moose::Manual::Types
422 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
423 string parsing rathole (mst)
425 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
426 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
427 using plain objects instead
429 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
430 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
433 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
435 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
436 three times today (perigrin)
437 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
438 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
440 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
441 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
442 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
443 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
446 - A role's required methods are now represented by
447 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
448 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
449 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
450 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
451 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
454 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
455 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
456 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
457 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
460 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
462 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
465 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
467 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
470 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
471 during global destruction. This method has been made more
472 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
476 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
477 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
480 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
481 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
483 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
484 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
485 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
488 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
490 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
491 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
494 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
498 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
499 methods during global destruction (doy)
502 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
503 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
507 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
508 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
511 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
512 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
515 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
516 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
518 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
520 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
524 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
525 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
526 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
529 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
530 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
531 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
534 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
536 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
537 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
538 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
541 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
542 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
543 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
544 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
546 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
547 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
548 of the Moose core (Sartak)
551 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
554 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
555 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
556 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
560 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
561 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
564 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
566 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
569 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
570 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
573 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
574 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
577 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
578 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
581 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
584 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
586 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
587 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
591 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
593 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
594 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
597 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
598 * More deprecations and renamings
599 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
600 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
601 when an object is constructed)
604 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
605 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
606 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
608 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
609 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
610 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
611 feature, and it works again.
614 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
616 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
618 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
619 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
620 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
622 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
623 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
624 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
625 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
626 message. Test provided by perigrin.
628 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
629 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
630 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
631 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
632 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
635 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
636 metaclass object. (hdp)
638 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
639 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
640 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
641 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
642 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
643 point out this fact. (hdp)
645 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
646 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
648 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
649 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
652 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
653 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
654 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
655 called during instance construction were passed the
656 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
657 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
659 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
660 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
663 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
664 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
665 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
668 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
669 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
670 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
671 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
672 them, but they are not for "public" use.
675 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
677 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
678 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
679 when an object is constructed)
680 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
682 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
683 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
684 when an object is constructed)
685 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
686 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
687 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
690 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
692 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
693 * No changes from 0.72_01.
695 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
697 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
698 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
699 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
701 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
702 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
703 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
705 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
707 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
708 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
710 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
711 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
714 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
715 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
718 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
719 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
720 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
722 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
723 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
727 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
728 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
729 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
731 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
732 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
735 * Moose::Manual::Delta
736 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
737 with recommended workarounds.
739 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
740 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
742 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
743 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
744 (yes, spelled like that).
746 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
747 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
750 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
751 changes in latest Class::MOP.
753 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
755 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
756 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
757 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
758 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
759 instead. Reported by doy.
761 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
763 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
764 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
766 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
767 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
768 message) is now deprecated.
769 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
770 often got it wrong. For example:
772 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
774 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
778 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
779 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
780 bite you in weird cases.
782 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
783 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
784 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
787 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
788 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
792 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
795 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
796 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
799 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
800 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
802 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
803 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
806 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
807 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
808 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
809 - added tests for this (stevan)
811 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
812 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
813 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
814 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
818 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
819 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
820 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
821 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
823 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
824 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
825 - added tests for this (rafl)
827 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
828 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
829 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
830 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
834 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
835 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
838 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
839 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
840 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
842 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
844 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
845 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
848 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
849 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
850 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
851 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
853 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
854 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
855 error message did not specify the attribute name
858 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
860 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
862 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
863 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
864 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
866 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
867 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
870 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
872 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
873 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
874 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
875 of fixes and formatting improvements.
877 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
879 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
880 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
881 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
882 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
884 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
885 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
886 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
888 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
889 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
890 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
891 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
892 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
894 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
895 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
896 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
897 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
898 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
900 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
901 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
902 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
903 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
904 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
905 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
907 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
908 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
909 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
910 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
911 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
912 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
914 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
915 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
917 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
918 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
919 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
920 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
922 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
923 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
926 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
930 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
931 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
933 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
934 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
935 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
938 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
939 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
940 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
942 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
943 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
944 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
945 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
948 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
951 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
952 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
954 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
956 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
959 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
960 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
961 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
962 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
963 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
964 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
966 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
967 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
968 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
969 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
970 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
971 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
972 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
973 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
974 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
975 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
977 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
979 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
980 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
982 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
983 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
984 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
985 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
987 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
988 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
989 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
990 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
991 same methods for a single role did not work
992 right (worked just fine with multiple
994 - added test for this (stevan)
996 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
997 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
998 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1001 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1002 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1003 - added test for this (t0m)
1006 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1007 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1008 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1010 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1011 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1012 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1013 - added test for this (t0m)
1015 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1016 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1017 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1018 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1019 - added test for this (perigrin)
1022 - create method for constructing a role
1023 dynamically (Sartak)
1024 - added test for this (Sartak)
1025 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1026 - added test for this (Sartak)
1029 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1031 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1032 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1033 methods is useful (Sartak)
1035 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1036 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1037 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1040 * Moose::Meta::Class
1041 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1042 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1043 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1044 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1045 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1046 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1049 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1050 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1052 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1053 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1054 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1055 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1056 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1058 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1060 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1061 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1062 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1065 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1066 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1067 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1068 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1069 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1070 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1073 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1074 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1075 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1076 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1077 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1078 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1079 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1080 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1081 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1082 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1083 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1085 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1086 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1089 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1090 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1091 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1092 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1093 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1095 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1097 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1098 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1099 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1101 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1102 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1104 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1105 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1106 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1107 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1110 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1111 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1113 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1115 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1116 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1118 * Moose::Meta::Class
1119 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1120 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1121 a required attribute
1123 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1124 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1125 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1126 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1128 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1129 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1131 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1132 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1133 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1134 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1135 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1136 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1137 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1138 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1140 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1141 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1142 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1144 * Roles and role application
1145 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1146 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1147 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1148 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1149 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1151 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1152 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1155 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1156 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1157 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1158 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1159 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1162 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1163 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1164 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1165 changes in the Moose internals.
1167 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1168 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1169 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1172 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1173 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1174 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1175 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1177 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1178 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1179 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1180 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1182 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1183 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1184 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1185 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1186 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1187 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1188 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1189 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1190 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1191 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1192 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1193 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1194 constraint implementations.
1196 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1200 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1201 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1202 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1203 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1204 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1205 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1206 - added tests for this (rafl)
1208 * Moose::Meta::Class
1209 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1210 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1211 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1212 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1213 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1214 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1215 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1216 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1219 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1220 - added tests for this (thepler)
1222 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1223 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1224 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1225 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1228 * Moose::Meta::Class
1229 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1230 * Moose::Meta::Method
1233 * Moose::Error::Default
1234 * Moose::Error::Croak
1235 * Moose::Error::Confess
1236 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1237 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1238 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1239 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1240 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1241 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1243 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1245 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1246 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1248 * Moose::Unsweetened
1249 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1250 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1251 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1253 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1254 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1255 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1256 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1257 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1260 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1261 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1263 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1264 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1265 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1266 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1269 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1271 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1272 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1274 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1277 - Various bug fixes.
1279 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1280 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1282 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1284 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1285 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1286 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1287 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1288 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1289 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1291 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1292 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1293 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1295 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1296 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1297 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1300 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1301 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1302 dependency to 0.64_07.
1304 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1305 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1306 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1308 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1309 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1312 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1313 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1314 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1315 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1316 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1317 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1319 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1320 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1322 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1324 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1325 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1329 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1330 method when that method was provided by another role being
1331 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1332 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1334 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1336 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1337 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1339 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1340 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1341 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1342 - added test for this (t0m)
1344 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1345 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1346 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1348 - added test for this (t0m)
1351 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1352 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1353 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1356 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1357 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):

1362 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1364 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1365 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1366 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)

1437 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1439 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1440 ... this is not my day today ...
1442 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1443 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1444 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1445 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1446 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1449 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1450 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1451 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1452 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1453 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1456 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1458 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1459 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1491 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1492 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1493 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1494 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1495 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1496 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1497 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1498 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1499 - added tests for this
1501 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1502 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

1612 XS based functionality is now optional
1613 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1614 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1615 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2062 HashRef for containers (sartak)
2063 - added tests for this
2065 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2066 - coercions will now create subtypes as needed
2067 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2068 types without having to explictly define them
2069 - added tests for this
2071 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2072 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2073 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2075 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2076 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2077 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2078 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2079 - added tests for this
2080 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2081 a single type at different times instead of
2082 having to do it all in one place
2083 - added tests for this
2085 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2086 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2087 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2090 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2091 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2092 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2093 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2094 new features above (although you cannot add
2095 more type coercions for Union types)
2097 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2098 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2099 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2101 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2102 - added tests for this.
2103 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2104 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2105 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2106 - added tests for this
2107 - added docs for this
2109 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2110 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2111 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2112 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2113 instead it will just return undef.
2114 - added docs for this

2128 with work correctly.
2129 - added tests for this
2132 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2133 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2136 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2137 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2138 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2140 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2172 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2175 - fixed how required methods are handled
2176 when they encounter overriden or modified
2177 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2178 - added tests for this
2180 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2181 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2182 the | always creates a union and so is
2183 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2184 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2186 - added more tests for this
2188 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2191 * Parameterized Types
2192 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2193 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2194 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2195 They can also be nested:
2196 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2197 And work with the type unions as well:
2198 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2200 * Better Framework Extendability
2201 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2202 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2203 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2204 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2207 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2208 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2209 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2210 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2213 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2215 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2216 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2219 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2247 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2249 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2250 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2251 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2252 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2254 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2255 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2256 - updated the accompanying test as well
2258 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2259 +++ with new features added as well +++
2261 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2262 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2263 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
2264 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
2265 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2267 - added tests for this
2269 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2270 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier

2272 can track where the type constraints are created
2274 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2275 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2276 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2278 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2279 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2280 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2281 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2295 (thanks to shlomif).
2297 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2298 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2299 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2300 - added tests for this

2303 - added tests for this
2305 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2306 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2307 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

2337 - added tests for these
2339 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2340 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2342 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2343 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
2344 to the 'handles' option.
2345 - added tests and docs for this

2348 (but not changing the handles option)
2349 - added tests and docs for this
2352 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2353 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2354 - adjusted tests for this
2356 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2357 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2358 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2364 the other side (perigrin)
2366 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2367 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2368 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2369 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2370 prototypes for functions
2371 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2372 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2382 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2385 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2386 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2387 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2388 - added tests for this
2390 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2392 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2408 * Moose::Meta::Class
2409 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2410 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2411 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2413 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2414 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2416 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2417 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2418 so this release is just to fix that.
2421 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2422 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2423 (thanks to konobi for this)
2424 - added tests and docs
2426 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2427 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2429 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2430 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2431 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2432 - added tests for this

2434 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2435 functions to facilitate introspection.
2437 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2438 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2439 to build the list of delegated methods
2440 correctly (and not override important
2441 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2443 - added tests and docs for this
2444 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2445 so that you can actually document your
2446 attributes and inspect them through the
2448 - added tests and docs for this
2450 * Moose::Meta::Class
2451 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2452 it will first look in for the class in the
2453 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2454 then default to just loading $name.
2455 - added tests and docs for this
2457 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2458 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2459 - added test for this
2462 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2463 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2464 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2465 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2467 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2468 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2471 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2473 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2474 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2475 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2478 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2479 !! for this developer release to work !!
2481 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2482 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2483 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2484 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2485 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2486 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2487 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2488 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2489 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2490 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2491 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2493 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2494 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2495 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2496 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2499 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2500 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2501 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2502 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2503 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2505 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2507 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2508 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2511 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2512 called unless they actually need to be.
2513 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2514 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2515 DEMOLISH method present.
2517 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2518 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2519 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2520 type constraint, which allows for a
2521 hand optimized version of the type
2522 constraint to be used when possible.
2523 - Any internally created type constraints
2524 now provide an optimized version as well.
2526 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2528 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2529 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2530 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2532 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2533 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2534 your class namespace of these exported
2537 * Moose::Meta::Class
2538 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2539 comes up during global destruction
2541 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2545 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2548 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2549 - changed how we do type checks so that
2550 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2553 - moved accessor generation methods to
2554 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2555 conform to the API changes from
2558 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2559 - changed how constraints are compiled
2560 so that we do less recursion and more
2561 iteration. This makes the type check
2563 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2566 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2567 - created this from methods formerly found in
2568 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2570 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2571 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2573 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2574 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2576 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2577 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2579 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2581 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2582 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2583 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2584 - added tests for this
2585 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2586 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2587 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2588 - removed tests for this
2590 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2592 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2593 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2594 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2597 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2598 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2599 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2601 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2602 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2603 comments for more info.
2606 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2607 asked questions and common problems
2609 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2610 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2611 - added tests for this
2613 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2614 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2615 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2616 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2618 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2619 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2622 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2623 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2624 is much appreciated :)
2625 - added tests for this
2627 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2628 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2629 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2632 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2633 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2635 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2637 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2638 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2642 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2643 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2644 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2646 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2648 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2651 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2652 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2653 keywords because we need to localize them.
2654 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2656 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2657 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2658 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2661 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2664 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2665 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2666 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2669 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2670 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2671 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2673 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2675 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2676 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2677 bottom of your class file.
2680 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2683 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2685 - improved error message when loading modules so
2686 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2687 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2688 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2691 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2692 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2693 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2695 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2696 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2698 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2699 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2700 turn them on for you.
2701 - added tests for this
2702 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2703 in Moose::Meta::Class
2706 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2707 automatically turned on for you.
2708 - added tests for this
2711 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2712 - added tests for this
2713 - added some more edge case tests
2715 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006
2716 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2718 - added prototypes to the exported subs
2722 - added prototypes to the exported subs
2725 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2726 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2729 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2730 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2731 - This release works in combination with
2732 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2733 release because it uses the a new
2734 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2735 complete Role implementation. It has
2736 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2737 the the previous CPAN version. This
2738 release also lacks good updated docs,
2739 the official release will have updated docs.
2742 - refactored the keyword exports

2763 - much work done on the role composition
2764 - many new tests for conflict detection
2765 and composition edge cases

2790 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2791 thanks to chansen for this commit
